we met ten years ago //(almost eleven)// we liked the same video games got to [[chatting|page1.2]]

too shy too anxious worrying about saying the wrong thing or being too much

you claimed to be an introvert but you were always the outgoing one easily talking to anyone

i figured that’s how friendships work sometimes people get busy you, with someone new i, with [[school|page2.2]]

we made plans we met up for a couple of months //(almost eleven)// i had you [[back|page3.2]]

in ten weeks //(almost eleven)// those years without you were forgotten what did it matter when no one made me feel as important as [[you did?|page4.2]]

i sat with you as you cried <<cycle "$telling">> <<option "telling me your parents would never accept you as you are" "telling me your parents would never accept you as you are">> <<option "when you were going through another breakup" "when you were going through another breakup">><</cycle>> i held you cried with you tried to convince you it couldn’t be as bad as you imagined it and if it was i’d be your family

i was happy to do it the first time you had no one else to ask then it happened again <span class="slowfade"><<timed 2s t8n>>and again<</timed>></span> <span class="slowfade"><<timed 3s t8n>>and again<</timed>></span> <span class="slowfade"><<timed 4s t8n>>eventually<</timed>></span> <span class="slowfade"><<timed 6s t8n>>i stopped counting how many times it happened<</timed>></span>

signing my name never felt so important unreal overwhelming you trusting me with this no matter what happened after i’d always be part of your life my signature would always be on that paper <span class="slowfade"><<timed 4s t8n>>i wish it hadn’t been the only part of me you kept<</timed>></span>

before i knew it after ten years //(almost eleven)// i loved you in every way i possibly [[could|page5.2]]

you talked me through my heartbreak promised you wouldn’t disappear again promised me things <<cycle "$promise">> <<option "wouldn’t change" "wouldn’t change">> <<option "would be different" "would be different">><</cycle>> this [[time|page7]]

it was true <span class="slowfade"><<timed 2s t8n>>[[for a while|page8]]<</timed>></span>

ten years //(almost eleven)// it took me to realise you were turning me into someone [[i didn’t like|page9]]

someone <<cycle "$anxious">> <<option "angry" "angry">> <<option "hurt" "hurt">> <<option "anxious" "anxious">> <<option "picking fights" "picking fights">> <<option "begging for attention" "begging for attention">><</cycle>> all the time just to get a response as you slowly pulled away [[from me|page10]] <span class="slowfade"><<timed 4s t8n>>//(again)//<</timed>></span>

we’d make plans you’d be late i’d ask you to tell me if <<cycle "$tellme">> <<option "you were busy" "you were busy">> <<option "you couldn’t talk" "you couldn’t talk">> <<option "i was bothering you" "i was bothering you">> <<option "i did something to upset you" "i did something to upset you">><</cycle>> you promised [[you would|page11]]

you never [[did|page12]]

talking every day became <span class="slowfade"><<timed 2s t8n>>disappearing for days<</timed>></span> <span class="slowfade"><<timed 4s t8n>>talking every week became<</timed>></span> <span class="slowfade"><<timed 6s t8n>>anxiously waiting for a<<cycle "$text">> <<option " text" " text">> <<option " call" " call">> <<option "nything" "nything">><</cycle>> became<</timed>></span> <span class="slowfade"><<timed 8s t8n>>always [[waiting|page13]]<</timed>></span>

ten years <span class="slowfade"><<timed 2s t8n>>//(almost eleven)//<</timed>></span> <span class="slowfade"><<timed 4s t8n>>it took me to realise<</timed>></span> <span class="slowfade"><<timed 6s t8n>>you only wanted me there<</timed>></span> <span class="slowfade"><<timed 8s t8n>>when you didn’t have [[anyone else|page14]]<</timed>></span>

<span class="slowfade"><<timed 2s t8n>>i wasn’t gonna let it become [[eleven|startpage]]<</timed>></span>

<<popup "i" "i">> was never good at making friends even worse at keeping them but with <<popup "you" "you">> it seemed [[easy|page1.3]]

talking every week became talking every day until one day we weren't talking [[anymore|page2]]

a couple of years passed and your name popped up on [[my screen|page3]]

until you met someone new and we drifted [[apart|page3.3]] <span class="slowfade"><<timed 1s t8n>>//(again)//<</timed>></span>

i thought i was helping you <<popup "emotionally" "emotionally">> <<popup "financially" "financially">> <<popup "legally" "legally">> maybe [[i was|page5]]

then you met [[someone new|page6]] <span class="slowfade"><<timed 1s t8n>>//(again)//<</timed>></span>

a few more years passed <span class="slowfade"><<timed 2s t8n>>and your name popped up on my screen [[again|page4]]<</timed>></span>
